范文
1:
Today
in
China,
many
families
have
only
one
child.
So
the
children
usually
doted
upon
by
all
family
members.
Gradually
some
of
them
get
used
to
depending
on
their
parents
and
family
members, as a result they lack the ability to face their lives by themselves.
There are some ways to help children to be independent. First, the child should have a chance to see
the world around him individually to understand that there are various people and competitions in
their lives, and learn to find his right position in the society only by individual efforts. Second, it is
impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at parents may give the child enough
help
and
space
to
make
him
feel
comfortable.
A
child
needs
help
from
their
families.
Because
without any help, the child may lose his faith. Thirdly, parents can help their children make their
own
decisions,
which
can
challenge
his
ability
to
deal
with
problems.
A
child
should
be
praised
when he is successful or encouraged when he fails.
To be independent
is
vital
for the children, because no parents
can go with their children for the
whole life. Only an independent person can live and enjoy a full and meaningful life.

：

Nowadays, more and more parents indulge their children too much, showing too much love to them.
The parents get used to make an arrangement of everything for their children. As result, many adult
children will not deal with things by themselves but depend on their parents strongly.
How should parents help children to be independent? On the one hand, parents should try to tell the
children the importance of independence at an early age. If the children have no awareness early,
how can we expect them to achieve independence later. On the other hand, let the children always
have
a
try
by
themselves
before
asking
for
help.
Let
them
know
that
independent
thinking
is
an
absolute necessity in their life.
Helping children towards independence will always be our businesses.

文章关于学术界和商界之间的一些关系。

很少有商界 人士愿意改行做纯学术研究，但是也有例外的。这些人对高校学生的就业意义比
较大。


57
题，
问单行道的意思是什么。
文章第一段就说
“It is pretty much a one
-way it may
be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little
traffic in the oppos
ite direction.”
高校研 究者到商界去碰运气可能很常见，但是相反的方向却人
很少。也就是说很少有商界的人愿意回归学校做纯 学术研究。所以选
C
，很少有工业科学家
愿意放弃去一个高校工作。
indu strial scientists
在文中指的就是商界人士。


58< br>题，问
deterrent
这个词的意思。这题有一定迷惑性，要根据上下文来判断。上 文说的是很
少有商界的人愿意回高校的。原因就在于薪酬
（
pay),
后面 接着具体解释：没人能接受换个高
校的工作后工资下降。所以
deterrent
这个 词是表明原因的，要么是
A
选项阻碍因素，要么是
C
选项促进因素。而从上下 文看薪酬是阻碍商界人士去高校工作的，也就是阻碍因素，所以
选
A
。


另外，如果知道
deterrent
这个词的意思话可以迅速作答：威慑因 素。


59
题，
问
Helen Lee
在职业生涯中期换工作的首要考虑是什么。
第二段是这么说的：
Her main
reason for returning to academia mid- career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose
research questions
。利用更大的 自由来选择研究的问题。也就是说之前不在
academia
的时候，
没有那么多的选 择空间：什么赚钱做什么，现在可以自己根据自己的喜好来
choose
了。所以
选< br>B
。


60
题，问
Guy Grant
问什么选择做剑桥研究者。第三段的最后一句话是这么说的：

He took a
30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.
所以这题选
D
。


61< br>题，
问当工业科学家去高校教书时能做什么样的贡献。
答案在最后一段：
The y are also well
placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a
job when they gr aduate
。他们给学术角色的教书面带来了一些额外的东西，这些东西在学生毕
业时可以帮 助他们找工作。所以选
A
：提高毕业生在就业市场上的竞争力。
